[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1379404, member: 498"] I have been doing that. They have all the bent grass straw they want to eat and I supplement with alfalfa. I have been feeding 12 pounds a day. They get the alfalfa for 2 days and none on the third day. I wanted to feed 8 pounds a day but it didn't work to do that. These are big square bales that weigh 1,400 pounds. Feeding a third of a bale and getting in spread somewhat evenly through all the feeders so all 55 head had access just didn't work. Feeding half a bale does work. They complain on the no alfalfa day but they eat more bent grass on those days. [/QUOTE]
